Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a very important Bill and from the onset, I second.

Added to that, they should also understand how much we do make in contributions. With those few remarks, I support.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, could the Member for Kikuyu please explain the insinuation that there was a rush to pass regulations on exempting Japanese companies from income tax? Could he expound on what he meant by the claim that it was contrived or planned?
